Hired by companies to break into buildings and hack security systems, Jack and her husband, Gabe, are the best penetration specialists in the business. But after a routine assignment goes horribly wrong, Jack arrives home to find her husband dead. To add to her horror, the police are closing in on their suspect—her.

Suddenly on the run and quickly running out of options, Jack must decide who she can trust as she circles closer to the real killer in this unputdownable and heart-pounding mystery from an author whose “propulsive prose keeps readers on the hook and refuses to let anyone off until all has been revealed” (Shelf Awareness).

It's a good read, full of action! Jack and Gabe are penetration specialist (no, not that kind get ya mind outta the gutter) but works with companies to break in and see what needs to be fixed. It sounds like a stressful but fun job in the end. That is until Jack comes home and finds her husband murdered; what makes matters worse is that she is the prime suspect, and she knows they won't believe her story. As she races to find out who murdered her husband, she has to trust people, but are the people she trusts the right ones?  

I will say I did not see the person behind it and was shocked I did not get it right away. If you are looking for something to pass the time away and want action from about the get-go, then check it out.
